About the book: year / If suddenly a war breaks out, then the knights feel the best. He put on his armor, jumped on his faithful horse, fought for three or four years, flashed before commander - and now you have your own allotment of land with a small pile of gold. You can calmly retire from military duties to a well-deserved rest, raise your son and prepare him for future battles, and then you look, in a couple of generations you are not far from the hereditary nobility... Ordinary soldiers are in a very bad situation. If you're lucky, you'll stay in the rear with the convoy; if you're unlucky, you'll be thrown into the meat grinder, and even if by some miracle you survive the first battle, you'll definitely die in the second. Although if you survive and are able to return home, they will give you some coins and leave you alone. For a while. But what if you are even lower on this ladder? If you are an ordinary fisherman living somewhere on the edge of the world, who has never held a weapon in his hands, and the fire of war is breaking out around you? What will you do then??
